The long awaited post of 7.07.07 is finally HERE!!!!! :D


Dudes.. I know it took me like... forever (2 months, lol) to post this, but
The long awaited post of 7.07.07 is finally HERE!!!!!

So! Before the pictures, i'd appreciate it if you'd please read the entry :) Also! This was all typed in July but it was saved as a Draft, so some things said might be thought of differently now. I was pretty pissed when I first typed this, heheh x)
---

My friends who knew how much I wanted this, who knew how much I bragged and complained about my cosplay, and whined and got angry over the people and the boundaries ALL THOSE BLOODY TIMES.. I apologize.. for you will be as disappointed as I was, and still am, after reading the paragraph you're about to read.

Tiffany(who cosplayed Junko) took ONLY three shots of me, and my friend took one. My aunt took one at home, and Areku & I were featured in a Nana Osaki pic, AND the top of my head was seen a couple of times. All of those; 5, minus the one where I wasn't actually seen, equals ALL of my pictures. T________T I have like only TWO good ones. I am very sorry.

DAMN!!!!! I'm so sorry people who I promised lots of pics. D: Shit.. it's not my fault though. And others also had problems. This thing ran from 12 noon to 10 p.m. That's 10 friggin hours.. and I got no more than 5 pictures. I should die, I know. Take the name of being a Nana fan away from me.. I was so light headed that day. Honestly, most of the day we just ate, shopped, freaked people out, talked, ate, drove, thought, went site seeing,waited, amazed people, got lost, looked for ice cream, ran from the RAIN, and rocked out. But I got to spend 10 hours (really only 7.. took me some time to wind down ^^') celebrating Nana day with the most funny, real, cute, short(lol), awesomest people, or nana fans, EVER!! Omg, I tried to steal Tabatha's Nana plushie.. It was so cute *.*

Anyway.. er, what else?? OH! I blame Areku for TOTALLY TOTALLY wasting ALL of our time. We spent almost two hours searching for this fucking ice cream place at the destination we all longed to go to (Atlantic Station), just for her! We wanted to take pictures there because of the beautiful lights and scenery. So when we didn't find it, this girl who didn't even give as little as a thank you, blamed us for helping her.. For helping her? She is the most ignorant piece of shit ever.. I can't believe her. These people planned for months for Nana Day and here they were spending their time searching for some magical ice cream shop just to make a stranger happy, yes I wonder why they're so nice also, and she doesn't give them a thank you, and tells them they never should of helped her? That's true, but she was the one COMPLAINING about how she wanted it sooo bad.We all felt bad.. and it was in Atlantic Station, so why not get it for her, right? Yeah, but do you know after we failed to find the ice cream, it started POURING down raining? And we had to leave after waiting for it to stop because people had to be home by certain times and already lived far away? Shouldn't she feel remorse or something? And first of all, she was bothersome ALL day. What a selfish ass. I'm never forgiving her for that.. it was just insensitive and rude as hell. >:|

Oh, why didn't they mind much?? Well let's see.. two days later they re-met at this beautiful Kareoke bar to finish the pictures.. and bad part for me is, the inside was perfect for my character.. it was EXACTLY like the room at Shin and Reira's party where Yuri (oh yeah, I cosplayed Yuri.. Nobu's porn star girlfriend, lol.) first came in and had that big thing with Hachi and Nobu. And plus the girl that cosplayed Hachi.. didn't like her too much.. so that would have been super fun! =D Well.. I didn't go. ;_; 1st reason: Areku had to go home like right when we needed to be at the bar. She lives like far away from me and my mom had to drive her back. The karaoke bar was farther, so she didn't wanna take me right after a long drive. -____- 2nd reason(the worse reason): Tabatha lost my number and I never gave it to Grace so no one could contact me to tell me they switched the time to later. They said so on the board online, but I didn't get on the comp. because I was mad Areku ruined my Nana Day twice! When I found out like right when it ended, my mom told me she would have taken me because she wouldn't have to waste so much gas and care for two girls. D: Omg! I can't believe I could have went! I always wanted to go to a Kareoke bar, and I needed to be there regardless!!!! Ahghrfhzhg!! *sobs* What a total fucking bitch. That's right.. bold AND underlined! A fucking attention having, hard up bitch!

I just wanna go to AWA (anime weekend atlanta) this year now so I can hang with them and re-do my cosplay. I don't think I can though.. because I got my membership drawn from last year, also because of Areku! And I was relying on her home address to re enter.. but because of what happened on 7.07.07 and the other days she stayed with me, I DO NOT want to attend with her. >=( But I still have the issue that my mom's like, friggin tired of me with all this cosplay stuff and Japanese stuff and "wasting tons of money on useless crap". So if I mention it to her... she may just explode then come back to murder me. >___>

SO! Let's get to the actual detail in this day!

I awoke at 7:12 am! Didn't get out of bed until like 7:50.. took a bath, and washed up to get into character! About 8:20.. put on my accessories and did my nails. Went to get my outfit on. After getting dressed, I put on my wig; I cut the bang of the wig the night before.. it was too long.. but I cut it too short T_____T

Then during the 10:30 - 11:30 hour.. I spent that time for eating, make-up, perfume, helping Areku, prepping the wig, and putting on contacts.
After everything was done we arrived late! Because of my mom.. -_- When we finally get to the place, i'm friggin nervous as hell.. lol. We walk into the venue and see people way across the room setting things up on a stage. I see lots of people I saw on the Int' Nana Day thread on cosplay.com.. but I have a hard time doing anything. lol. Finally, with a little help from Areku, I talk to some people and got situated. My mom stayed the whole time there. x(

Finally, London, Grace and Nobu came and they started the photoshoot. The first shoot was of Trapnest. Then of the Black Stones. And since it was two Nana Osaki's and two versions of B.L.A.S.T (the one with Ren and the one with Shin), it was really like two photoshoots for them. The characters that weren't needed.. we all slacked and sat there watching, being bored; the worst part of the day. Soon it was about 2 and everyone was whispering about us just sitting there not talking to anyone. Areku totally wasn't helping. She was actually starting to become a pest. So Tabatha finally came over and tried to lighten me up and told me they'd be shooting pictures of Yuri and Nobu soon.

When the time came to actually do it, we had about 30 minutes to wait, so I chilled with Rene/Rin (Nobu) and Grace 2 (Nana O.) By that time, Meg (the other Nana O.) had left to go back to work.. awws. So Rin, Grace and I chilled by the make-up counter and looked at some Nana manga for good poses.. while also enjoying some root beer.. that looked like beer, lol. I couldn't get mine open because I had on fake nails and I couldn't get a good grip. Rin tried to open it but couldn't, and Grace tried to open it.. but also because she had false nails, she couldn't get a good enough grip. So I told her to use her shirt. When she did, root beer shot up all over her shirt! o____o Opps... Her shirt was black and red but her white shirt underneath that she needed for a different shoot was ruined with brown stains. T-T I apologized many times. She smiled and said it was alright, even though it was obvious she was upset. x( Agh.. havoc.

Then after getting tipsy on warm root beer, I finally did my pictures with Rene. OMG! I could have killed her! Okay, Rene's a chick and i'm a chick, but SHE was playing a dude, so she should of let me get a lot closer!! But it didn't matter, it was only a head shot; it turned out great. ^^ A bit after that, the girl playing Sachiko finally came. Boy was she late. She didn't get a chance to be in any pictures.. and her cosplay was really good too! =/

Pictures from all that :D- remember, click to enlarge them~!

A picture before we left of me and Areku, hehe.. I cut up her leggings x)

The infamous Hachi drawing! :D Kudos to London for doing this so accurately.. it looks JUST like the original! Then I found out she just printed the original and added color.. hehe.

I didn't have the original Trapnest pictures saved so I just got them from Tiffany's online Kodak gallery ^.^; These are both modeled after this picture:

Nagi as Ren.. sorry.. forgot her real name x/ But she was one cool chick :D Perfect Ren. Coke addict and all!! xD

Meg as Nana O. in this one.. excepting Misato's rose.. even though it looks like she's giving it to her.. x)

Yah.. Grace is a cool Nana.. That captain hat has to be the coolest shit ever, xD Rene made Nobu hers!! lol.. an original attitude :]

My favorite Meg picture.. don't particularly like Nobu.. but as a whole, everybody is awesome and completely on point! And it's perfect how Nana is looking out into the crowd like she's so into the song and Misato is just gawking xD Perfect BLAST original.

Yasu at last :] Areku kept saying since the guy cosplaying Yasu is Black it reminded her more of Morpheus from the Matrix! xD But Robert did a great Yasu :] Lucky with drums!! x/

Lmao~ xD I was bored??
Here's the original x3

This was taken anyway because Meg was about to leave.. =/

I edited this a bit.. added a bit of bright contrast and noise because it was all cool.. hehe.
I forgot her name sorry.. as Ren, Grace made a great Nana O. here, Rene as Nobu, and Grace and London as Misato and Hachi as audience :]

Kei=Shin, Robert=Yasu, Meg=Nana O., & Rene=Nobo :]

Kei=Shin, Robert=Yasu, Grace=Nana O., & Rene=Nobo x)
The compare and contrast between these Grace as Nana O. pics and that one Meg as Nana O. pic: They both kick ASS.. Even though Meg looks like more of a Bad ass in the picture, Grace has the character down in her first one. Not in the second one.. there's she like all innocent and sultry with the straight face and turned in leg. Lolita's do that.. but the first one is perfect! Two perfect Nanas!!

Oh shit.. I look like a drag queen in the second one, xD But it was just because of my heels.. I took them off in the first piccy.... and you all shall NOT see anymore of me.. because that's ALL. Gomen~ u-u

They did another Blast photoshoot after my pics. One's with Shin in the picture. And these are my absolute FAVORITE out of them all. One, because it's just great. And two, because it's modeled after my favorite picture, lol:
The first one is more accurate to the original picture since you can see everything.. but the second one is clearer.. plus my Nobu is looking awesome xD

Ohhh!! Look at Kei's arm!! It's in motion and it's red! xD That is way awesome! This wasn't edited at all! Ooh.. and he's so cute here o_o.. smexy smexy!! xD *hopes Tabatha doesn't see this* =S
This is totally blurred but I still like it for some reason.. o.o;

My favorite Misato/Nana pics.. no offense to Meg.. but Grace had this hands down.
The second one was a Photo Op.. they were laughing x)

Edited Trapnest Trigger picture! :3 Tabatha and Amy as Reira & Takumi.
It's modeled after the second picture:

This picture just amuses me.. ^^ Tabatha's expression is funny

After all that, it was almost 3:30 and we had to go by 4, so we spent that time loading up the stuff and figuring out our next destination. My mom disagreed on driving me and Areku everywhere, so I asked if anyone was carpooling. Emily (Naoki) told us she had room in her car :) So I confirmed it with my mom and she said yes :D We were going to the E2 coffee house!!

So after about 40 minutes of driving and listening to Emily's tracks, she had some awesome music, most of my favorites, we arrived there. Where... we didn't have a crowd waiting like they said we would. So some of us just used their bathroom to change, and the rest of us hung out. :] That's when we realized we lost some people! The other girl cosplaying Hachi, the girls cosplaying another character, and the girl cosplaying Sachiko that came late, never showed up. o_o;; Opps.. I would have been super pissed off. x/ Anyway, we all just chatted, drunk frappeccinos, yep.. that's where it all winded down. My favorite bit of time. I got to know Grace (misato), Kei's sister. And I got to know everyone. Me and Areku told stories of our time at AWA 2006 and we all shared stuff about anime and Nana and Korean dramas and food and sewing, it was great!! Tabatha and I had a long one on one talk about cosplay and wigs, lol. And Grace (misato) told me she admired my courage. I was confused before she told me she was talking about going it full for my character, lol. She said she thought i'd at least have a undershirt on, but I bared my chest and my lacy bra, xD That may have been insulting, but I took it as a compliment xP The rest of the time we talked about random stuff and she was cute all the way through :D

Pictures taken there x3-

Grace and London enjoying a laugh by the window at the coffee house with their Strawberry glasses. This picture was actually a Photo OP.. I snapped it before they were ready but it still came out fine. They had changed clothes by them as you can see. I liked that Hachi outfit much better.. needed pearls though, heh.

The other Grace, Kei's sister, as Misato, on the couch at the E2 cafe with Tabatha's Nana O. plushy I wanted to steal so badly x) Awws.. she looks so sad in the second pic :S

After everyone changed clothes, we finally headed out. :)
We decided to go eat at Fuddruckers. Mostly because we wanted to go to Atlantic Station for pictures and we needed to waste time.
It took like forever to get to Fuddruckers. When we got there, I got even closer to Tabatha and London, haha. I know, I know.. London's disliked by me.. but it was all good x) We all ate at this big long table since it was so many of us.. but it wasn't enough room.. I think Grace, cosplaying NANA not Kei's sister, and Rene and two more were at a small table next to us. Of course we were the scene that day at the restaurant, everyone was smiling at us! It reminded me of when my whole junior high school class went to the same Red Lobster after the spring dance. x) It was so cool.. all the people already there got to see a fashion show ^^
We stayed at the restaurant for a while talking about stuff while eating.. then we headed out. In the parking lot, we decided our next move.. we concluded we were definitely going to Atlantic Station.. but it being the summer, it was 6+ and still light out. So we were to hang out at the mall until the sunset, and head downtown to take pictures :]
Before we went into the mall, I HAD to change shoes because I had been wearing those 4 inch stiletto heels all that time... I brought along some flats *nods*. So as soon as we went in we had people staring like crazy.. and the store owners were very happy to have us there, we were drawing so much attention :D
I was mad though that we went there because they had the perfect dress for my character.. one I tried so hard to find, but I had no money. And then this beauty supply store we went into had these beautiful fishnets, tights and crazy wigs. I would of loved to shop there.. AH! Too bad I can't remember the name of the mall neither does it matter since we were like two hours away from home. x(
We all split up at some point and met back at the food court. Some of us went to the bathroom.. then we sat and talked more. There was one picture taken before the sun began setting and we left the mall.

Here is that picture-

That was this one :] As you can see, Tabatha had changed her dress and Emily changed her Naoki outfit too. It was edited later to better match the picture is was modeled after:Great accuracy, huh?! The editing that is.. I know the posing is a bit off, but whatever.. it wasn't planned so I think it was rather good :3

I almost fell asleep in Emily's car it took so long to get to Atlantic Station!! But when we finally did,we lost each other in the parking lot. x/ Lol.. the best part of all this: Emily called Tabatha to see where everyone went and while she was talking to her, we could hear her clearly.. even though the garage was quiet and it was on the cell phone. So then we all walk to see what level we're on and Tabatha tells us it's level E.. so Emily asks Tabatha how she knows what level we're on, and as we're walking, Tabi comes up to us out of nowhere and says, "Because I stalk you at night.. " Lmao!! Turns out she was only like 6 cars away from where we parked. LOL~ How funny.. ^^ And so we Kei and Grace (Kei's sister) were in their car. We called Robert and told them to come down to level E from where ever they already were. So we wait a while and they don't know how to get down, so Areku suggested they play a song really loud so we could hear them coming and tell them which way to go. So they did.. and they wouldn't tell us what song it was. They said we'd know when we heard it. So about 5 minutes later we hear music. And as it get closer we see a car full of cosplayers, lol.. they were playing the Star Wars song! Rotfl~ Omg.. they so rock.. but how lame can you get?! Lol.. this is a memory I will tell my Grand children x)

So after we all had a good laugh and stuck together, we all set up to the street area of the shopping center. Areku was the first to run off like a moron. I don't even have to go into detail about what happened. We literally walked for almost 2 hours looking for her fucking ice cream shop.. and she wanted us to not follow her! Well if this wasn't a giant private place we'd of left you a million years ago, but we can't! We were all each other's responsibility.. we had to follow. And she just wouldn't stop! Over some fucking ice cream! She didn't even know where it was or what it was called! I wouldn't be surprised if it was the wrong place she went.. because after all that we couldn't find it. We even asked one of the ice cream shop owners and they told us there was only blank and blank ice cream shops there.. and she claimed it wasn't them! So we told her to just get some ice cream but she was super stubborn and whined about how it isn't the one she wanted. That's when it started to drizzle a bit.. so we all rushed to this restaurant where there's this large open flat grass to take pictures.. but as soon as we got there it was raining harder, so we all ran back to the garage. When we got down there we ran into this wall where there was like power washed gray brick and this long bar of light.. It looked really cool so we wanted to tak pictures there.. but Tabatha said we only have like a couple more photos to take so we should take group ones. That when Tiffany thought of the giant wall in the parking lot where we can let up the camera and take pictures, so we all went walking. When we got there we all lined up the way Tabi wanted us to as she posed all of us. Just before we where finished some security guard came strolling in her buggy with a bright flash light. She saw we had a camera and told us it was illegal to take pictures down there and made Kei take out the batteries to the camera. Before she left, she warned us that if she saw a flash we'd all be in trouble. o__o Omg.. I can't believe that happened! D: Serious much?! That ruined everything and to make matters worse, everyone left and I was left with no one but Areku still being stupid as hell. Omg, I wanted to murder her in the parking lot.. she was so fucking dead to me.. I just ignored everything she said until my mom called. When she finally did she told us to go up to the street because waiting in a parking lot was dangerous and that she didn't know how to get to it anyway. We finally got to her and I didn't talk to Areku at all the whole way home or when we got back. I went straight to bed and told my mom I wanted her gone tomorrow. She was originally suppose to stay two extra days.. but I couldn't stomach her. I didn't care if she couldn't get home.. she wouldn't be in my house sitting or standing in my space! Not after what she did! So when I got up, I woke to see her standing over me saying that my mom said she had to go home that day. :)

Areku.. no matter how much my feelings have changed.. or how others really don't have a problem.. I will NEVER forget it and NEVER forgive what you did on July 7th 2007! It was beyond forgiveness. I would rather you have us in jail or banned from a convention than dissing my feelings and being so utterly selfish and insensitive. I don't hate you though. I just pity you. Because with that personality.. doing whatever you want and bringing everyone down when you don't get it? It'll surely turn it's back on you.. and you'll mess with the wrong person. Then you'll appreciate your real friends.. but they won't be around to help you out.

Disregarding all that personal stuff.. I really enjoyed the times where everyone bonded, where I got to talk to everyone one-on-one, where we all shared a good laugh and many inside jokes.. once again I am very grateful to of spent those long hours hanging out with such cool people. I really am glad I got to. And I thank nana-nana.net for even bringing upon these people. For if I hadn't visited, I would of never knew :]

And with that, here are some of the pictures from the karaoke bar and pictures Kei and Tabatha took on their own and posted up on cosplay.com. I have to come back an edit to add more as I haven't found all of them yet x/

Nagi and Grace as Ren & Nana at the K-bar.. Grace looks like she's actually crying.. nice sympathetic scene (^w^)

Tabatha and Kei in their RenxNana cosplays :3
Oh! I love their boots :D

Famous Shin & Reira scenes redone by Kei and Tabatha!!

The very first one where Reira tried to buy Shin's service x)

The most popular; second scene from the manga/ anime x) They were totally awesome for doing this over.. a little off though, but just suburb! And one with Kei by himself.. the original picture :]

More toward the end of the first season in the anime.. about Volume 12 or13 in the manga :]

Also a link to the other Nana Day pictures before Nana Day :]

*ONIGIRI♦ :3\\ 1 month to go before 7.07.07!!♥


My cousin and her boyfriend Shawn are coming down on the 15th. Why she's bringing her lover? Who knows what's inside her head. She says, "Oh! Any vacation will do! I just wanna go on a get-away and go out with Shawn and do great things! I can't wait to travel the town.. and we'll all go to that nice new restaurant by the ocean!! I know the weather's fabulous!" or some crap like that. What does she think she's going to Hawaii?! The ocean's in Savannah, not Atlanta! This is pure city. Not even real lakes around here. And she's leaving her mother and brother family.. to visit her aunt and cousin family. How is that a "get-away"?? Because she's with her boyfriend?? Lol... that amuses me so much. She's gonna have a completely screwed up time, because our guest room is under repair.. and we only have twin beds for use. I'm not gonna be nice to Shawn, i'm not gonna change my attitude. And I have to get all my things done for NANA day. She either better help out, or be gone before July.

Q's & A's~ :D

6 Jun 07, 12:43
Q: oranjeheartpoine: why are we not celebrating hachi's day then? 08082008 would be international hachi day, no???

A: poineheartoranje: At first I was amused by the thought of a "International Hachi Day". But that's actually correct, it would be Hachi Day. But, International NANA Day is for [NANA]; story by Ai Yazawa, not the character. Lol! :P

6 Jun 07, 12:44
Q: oranjeheartpoine: mmmm i'm gonna be disappointed if they dun hav hachi day... cos nana, then hachi right? ^^ nana day is on a sat, so i should be able to make it... a lil too old to be dressing up as one of them...

A: poineheartoranje: Yea! No day for me to celebrate what i'm most like! And actually, if they do, I can cosplay Hachi then, lol. Even if not, i'm doing it on my own.
A: poineheartoranje: Aww, a bit past your age. :P Maybe that's true, but would love to see BB doing so, xD

6 Jun 07, 12:45
Q: oranjeheartpoine: but will check it out n take some photos. hehe... show me yer pics there oki. wonder if anyone's cosplaying as sachiko. hahahaha!


A: poineheartoranje:Oooh! I have small information on the Singapore NANA Day mentioned after this. Take pictures with that fabulous Nikon D80! x]
A: poineheartoranje: I will be posting my pictures up on here, and there will be an album made for my Myspace ;] I'll also be recording stuff, so videos will be up also. *is excited*
A: poineheartoranje: Hmm? Yes, someone is cosplaying Sachiko. Why? Actually, we have cosplayers for like every single character in NANA. Well not all, but we have supporting characters Mari; Reira's Assistant, Shouji, Sachiko, Junko, Kyosuke, Nami; Hachi's ganguro sister, Nana's sister, Yuri; that's who i'm doing, Misato and Shion :) Those and the members of both BLAST & Trapnest. That's 18 people, plus the groupies adding on making it 22 people. :D Sadly, probably only 15 will come because a lot were unsure, but yeah.

---

In Singapore, they don't have an exact meeting yet, but it's gonna be on Orchard Rd. And they don't have a time yet.. but there will obviously be strawberry cake o.o
site: http://community.livejournal.com/sgnanaday/

Ask for NANA Day Georgia, Tabatha has no perspective on what she needs to do. We have no destination, no time, no answers. Then some members keep talking about what day to celebrate. Clearly we don't even know that! July 7th people!! London suggested we have the photo shoot on NANA Day and celebrate at Grace's house (maybe someone else) the next; Sunday the 8th. Ummm... we don't even know IF this is gonna happen! And why not do it the same day? The photo shoot won't be all day! I mean, I'd want to help out more, but I have my own problems and it's NOT my job. It's Tabatha, Kei, and Robert's job. What the hell are there people doing??
Now i'm not sure if we're gonna recreate the BLAST cake.. because if we do celebrate on the 8th..we'd be eating it then. And no one is giving me information. They're finding a place last minute when that should have been first! I'm so jealous of the well thought out plans people had in other states or countries. From the site online, seems like Georgia is doing the worst. The Philippines, Spain, and California are the best. From what i've seen.. ;x
And London (not the country, lol).. she wants to try and change her outfit after all this. Let's have a little synopsis of her wrong doings.. generally, not just personally.

•Had an outfit with Grace
•Saw Tabatha's side-line outfit; suddenly wanted to do that
•Ditched Grace because she did want to do it
•Grace had to start all over again
•Had same character as me
•Had same outfit as me
•Did her outfit wrong; didn't know what the entire thing looked like, so she improvised (a big no no in serious cosplaying)
•Didn't care, continued outfit anyway
•Complained to almost ALL the members how stressed she was that she had to change her character because "some new girl took her original idea". (um.. took her original idea? She was suppose to be with Grace, originally. And wasn't it Tabatha's idea? Hmmm..)
•Bad mouthed me a second time setting a bad impression; had people disliking me
•Had(has maybe) Tabatha not liking me
•Asked Tabatha for her shirt to the outfit because she was unable to find it(she asked her for her shirt to the outfit she stole?)
•Complained about how hard the outfit was. Even though she easily and proudly stood up for doing it when I already had everything I needed.
•Kept asking people where to get things and could she borrow things; should be doing it herself
•Kept having something to say about all my ideas. (Ex. I say, "I'm changing my character to Yuri since I dedcided to no longer do Hachi. Is that okay?" Kei told me how "kick ass" that would be, and that it's spectacular because they needed that character for Nobu since Yuri is Nobu's mate. I also offered him my Vivienne Westwood necklace since he needed one, and he said that'd be awesome. London says, "-coughNOBU'SMATEISHACHInotyuricough- HAHAHAHA. But yes, I'm glad you're doing Yuri tho'! The more characters the better. I'd love to see pics of that orb necklace. Kei, doesn't it need to be a lighter anyway? Not just an ordinary orb...") -_- bitch
•Kept saying how she wanted to do my ideas to get attention. (Ex. I say, "I'm recreating the Black Stones cake with some friends." London says, "Awww! I wanna bake something! What about the rest of us??? -whines-" Ex. 2 I say, "I wanted to bring two of my friends along with me to help with my things and just for familiar company, but since there aren't enough characters to be played, I thought about them coming as groupies of BLAST or Trapnest for the photo shoot. Is that alright?" She says, "Groupies?? There's already gonna be a lot of people. This is for cosplaying NANA. If they aren't doing characters, why should they be there?" 10+ people loved my idea and said it was perfect. Even the administrator said it was alright, and was happy I thought of it because now one of her friends could do the same. London then says, "Tabatha, you're bringing a friend as a groupie too? Perfect idea. ^^ Awww! I wish I could bring a groupie, but my cars full! :(") (all of a sudden she loves the idea and Tabatha thought of it?)
•Complained about changing the top to the outfit since she was having a hard time.
•Then thought about changing outfits completely

That heifer better not change after all this! Not when I already had my references, and I had to search ALL over again for an outfit and places. Change? When I could of just kept my idea and had extra time to do what I like? I could be researching places to have the photo shoot rather than being stressed all over again about finding what I need. And even Grace had to start all over. We wouldn't have to worry if she never whined! And now she's not sure? Spending time and money on this, when I could of just stuck with Hachi and have no issues, isn't worth not being "sure". She better stick with the outfit she so dearly wanted to do. Or else when I see her with a different outfit, i'm slapping the shit out of her. I don't care who the hell she is, she's no princess, she can't do whatever she likes. She got out of it with everyone else, but not me. I want her to change outfits! Just so I can beat the crap out of her and mess up her day like she would have messed up my month. I have no time for stubborn stupid little girls.

PHEW~ That felt good ;D

Here's the outfit I might be doing for Yuri. Most likely not, it's just a plan D back up, lol, but I posted anyway. When I finally do find my outfit, if it changes, hopefully, i'll replace it.

Here's a picture of a re-created BLAST cake we're currently using for reference ;D

And here's the screen caps of the cake from the anime. The changes made to the pictures above and in general: There will be 3 layers instead of two, no layer will be bigger than the other, and maybe we'll write "Int' NANA Day 7.07.07" on the third layer. And.. will someone tell me what that maybe chocolate thing is?? The thing that has 'Black Stones' on it? Can't seem to figure it out. If not, i'm using a Starbucks brownie and covering it in chocolate, lol. Best bet to me ;3

NANA!! Be strong!! ;______;



AHHH!! KAKKOII!!! *-* NANA had a respiratory attack! Miu is totally awesome! ^___^ Thank you sooooo much Takoyaki's for subbing the manga, and thank you London for sending me the scans for download. I shall save up my money and buy at least two volumes this summer to support Ai Yazawa. I also gotta get up to date with Paradise Kiss.. x__x I'm on chapter 41 now.. those were from chapter 37 volume 11?? It's like 30 pages a chapter and i'm just reaching volume 12 T__T

Oh, I wish I could post all the volumes up on here, but I already deleted the old ones.. nothing but the latest ones I got. Plus that wouldn't be fair AND they got sex scenes, lol... I hate to say this, but romantic PG-13 nude, not XXX nude, xD... they still suck. Anime blocks it out.. yay for ability to 'enjoy a good story without squinting' ! .-.

*SQUEE!!~ I can't wait to finish this up.. it's so good.... *drool*

--
So speaking of NANA, heard of International NANA Day?? Dewi, they're celebrating in Singapore.. you too BB! You know NANA like me! You be too busy to celebrate?? =/ Here's a website for it: http://www.defectivegeeks.com/nanaday/
Well, I don't know about celebrations where any of you are, but in Atlanta we're doing a cosplay photoshoot. :DD But only that.. :( In the Phillipines they have A LOT going on!! They've made a whole site dedicated to it! YES! Some hardcore dedicated fans!! They're having band members perform and everything.. so jealous ;/ If I was rich, i'd bring them here!! Only money for a cosplay photoshoot and for food and props and whatnot ^^
Oh! The date? 7.7.07! Because NANA is seven in Japanese.. and a lot other. So this month of June, i'll be getting my outfit and wig and hooker clothes, tee hee..

I'm gonna be a prostitute! YAY! :D
No... correction... i'm gonna be a AV star (porn star D=) xD
My charecter i'm cosplaying is a freakin' AV star. =/Her name's Yuri and she's Nobu's girlfriend! What's awkward is the person cosplaying Nobu is a chick.. and what's funny to all my messed up in the head friends, my character's name. Areku was like, "Ah, crazy. So you have to be the girlfriend of some chick? HAHA! Yuri is her name, live up to your character if you wanna be a good cosplayer! *chuckle*" (i.e. yuri means girlxgirl love in Japanese, lol.. no -__-) Hate for you Areku is increasing my dear. Don't walk with me up a mountain. Will be seen falling from it. I'll say it was a mountain goat. :3

Anyway, exactly a month from today, Chyna and Areku will be staying with me to help remake the 'Black Stones' cake. Well.. we might be over Areku's house or Chyna's.. depends on which is closer to our destination. I hope Chyna though.. because I want to play in her collection of Anime, manga and games!! *__* It's like a kid in a candy store.
Anyway, we're gonna bake a cake, each in charge of different things. Because it's not just baking a cake, it's gotta be exactly like the one in the story. It's a three layer cake was blue berries and strawberries on top a certain way, and a chocolate something in the middle of the fruits with Black Stones written on it with white icing. ^-^
Then.. Chya is a sewing goddess.. she's gonna alter our outfits. I'm doing the make-up and hair. And Areku is the prop keeper. She keeps up with all our props and moving equipment. The amps, guitars, jewelry and stage things we were asked to bring along. And i'm the only one cosplaying a character. Since there aren't enough characters for Areku & Chyna to do, i've asked if they could come along as groupies. Chyna will be the groupie for Trapnest. And Areku for Blast. So Chyna's outfit's a lot like Misato's. Except she won't be girly lolita; she'll be gothic lolita. Areku, she'll be punk like Nana. Combat boots, ripped tights and all. *squee! I'm so excited! My two little kawaii dolls.. they're gonna be soooo cute! *nose bleeds* xD

Aww, and London who provided me with the manga scans, she's great and all.. but that trick stole my outfit and ticked me off too many times!! >:( She's playing Hachi.. I had my Hachi outfit.. the REAL outfit all together but she had her WRONG one first.. and me being such a nice girl... -___- I let her keep it. I'm just gonna do it for AWA 13 2007. If I can't get in, from the incident last year..., i'm hunting her down. :] Turned most of the cosplayers against me! God.. give me a break.. didn't even have it right. Get mad because I had it before you, really! Wasn't your idea to begin with, was Tabatha's! *scolds* Anyway, hopefully we won't argue on NANA day. Too much time and money for that. Just wanna be a fan and have fun *nods* Plus, i'll get my kawaii dollies to sick her, i'm sure no one will help her ^.^ <- ish evil in disguise ->

--lazy!! finish post later :D June 7th

Even though it is the season for big alcoholic celebration, 21st coming up, this summer was the very first time I had a drink at the bar. This wasn't the first, a few lines of ignited shots were, lol, but this was one especially made for me and my friend by the bartender at the end of the night~ I say very nice touch to the end of that part day, and a happy 21st birthday to me from Ai-Tune Karaoke x3
